I can confirm the same behaviour on 6 Dell's desktop computer, with Intel Corporation 82562V-2 10/100 Network Connection Ethernet card embeded in the motherboard.
First we thougth it was because of wires or old-switch, but now everythings fine, we reproduce the sames problems : - dhcp doesn't bring up, with tcpdump silent - modprobe e1000e/ -r e1000e make it works - plug / unplug card/or/switch/or/power of switch $ sudo lspci | grep 8256 00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82562V-2 10/100 Network Connection (rev 02) $ sudo lsmod |grep e1 e1000e 84612 0 $ sudo cat /etc/issue Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 \n \l $ uname -a Linux formaxo2 2.6.26-2-686 #1 SMP Sun Jun 21 04:57:38 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux $ sudo modinfo e1000e filename: /lib/modules/2.6.26-2-686/kernel/drivers/net/e1000e/e1000e.ko version: 0.3.3.3-k2 license: GPL description: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Driver author: Intel Corporation, <linux.n...@intel.com> srcversion: 91473E7675870049C25134A ... $ sudo aptitude search ~i~n"^linux" i A linux-headers-2.6-486 - Header files for Linux 2.6-486 i A linux-headers-2.6.26-2-486 - Header files for Linux 2.6.26-2-486 i linux-headers-2.6.26-2-686 - Header files for Linux 2.6.26-2-686 i A linux-headers-2.6.26-2-common - Common header files for Linux 2.6.26-2 i linux-image-2.6-686 - image du noyau Linux version 2.6 pour PPro/Celeron/PII/PII i A linux-image-2.6.26-2-486 - Linux 2.6.26 image on x86 i A linux-image-2.6.26-2-686 - Linux 2.6.26 image on PPro/Celeron/PII/PIII/P4 i A linux-kbuild-2.6.26 - Kbuild infrastructure for Linux 2.6.26 i A linux-libc-dev - Linux support headers for userspace development i A linux-sound-base - Paquet de base pour les systèmes de son ALSA et OSS ... $ ls -l /lib/modules/2.6.*/kernel/drivers/net/e1000e/e1000e.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 111371 fév 10 13:25 /lib/modules/2.6.26-2-486/kernel/drivers/net/e1000e/e1000e.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 112627 fév 10 13:26 /lib/modules/2.6.26-2-686/kernel/drivers/net/e1000e/e1000e.ko -- Jérôme Avond <j.av...@axolys.fr> Axolys, Société de services en logiciels libres -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
